No idea what any of that has to do with ATX, PCI (long deprecated technology), ITX (form factor), DDR (that's like USB).
- jjjsdf87777 9y agoThat's not what I was trying to describe by offering project Ara as an example. Intel NUCs are an ITX board in a box with the usual ports. Not an ecosystem of quickly interchangeable modules that offering rapid change in utility. The problem is that's a lot of jargon, and yes I know what a form factor is, DDR is, and if you look again, I clearly wrote PCI-*, as PCI-Express, which is NOT deprecated. It's a lot of jargon to know when you want to build a device that hangs out and films birds, or some other overly specific example to make the point. If general computing is stuck there, it seems like a bit of cultural functional fixedness over what general computing should be. Which is all over our nostalgia tripping culture. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functional_fixedness https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functional_fixedness
